The Villain's Redemption

The graduation celebration this time was very intimate. Her brother, never liked the crowd so he chose to celebrate it with their parents and a few of his friends. 

Of course, Scarlette was included.

"This is my elder sister Sienna." Grant sounded forced. From the memories that she had, this man was never warm. He was always cold and would rather talk to robots than her sister. Despite this, Grant respected his elder sister and acknowledge that she was better than him when it comes to business. 

He was smart but not arrogant. 

However, this might also be because of their age gap. Sienna was already thirty this year while Grant would turn twenty-one. The gap was a little large for them.

Totally salvageable, she thought as Grant mentioned his friends name. One was Andrew, the other was Matt and the last male friend was Hui. Then there was Scarlette. She wasn't wearing any make up. Unlike Sienna who was wearing a five-foot inch heels, Scarlette was wearing sneakers. She wasn't wearing any accessories aside from the eyeglasses that was clearly there just for fashion purposes. She looked simple, even her smile looked simple yet beautiful.

"Miss Sienna, we've heard a lot of things about you." Surprisingly, Scarlette was quick to interact with her. She didn't act shy or awkward. It was so natural! Sienna wondered if this woman was an actress in her previous life? Perhaps, this was the product of being reborn again? She could only sigh inwardly. Perhaps Scarlette just want to have a good life this time. But her way of separating the leads would make her suffer in this life too.

"Scarlette, my sister just arrived from her flight abroad. I'm sure she's not feeling well. I will go and accompany her to our parents so she could relax as soon as possible."

Sienna lifted her eyebrow. It seems that the male lead didn't want Scarlette to get close to her? Why is that?

"Oh… Yes. My apologies."

Sienna just smiled and patted her brother's shoulders. According to Sienna's original personality, she wasn't really close to anyone in the Rouse Family. She was a lonely child who was pressured by her parents to achieve what was expected of her.

She was the heiress and so, she needed to act like one. 

She received etiquette lessons, martial arts, painting, piano and business lessons since she started school. The pressure made this woman colder, lonely. However, seeing the proud faces of her parents made her do everything for them. 

She never complained and just do everything to make her family proud. At the end of the plot, this woman lived a simple life abroad on her own. Now that she thought about it, Sienna was pitiful.

After another cold conversation with her parents, she told Grant that she would rest for a while. Of course, she needed to find out a few things about the villainess before she make her move.

Right now, it looked like the villainess was wearing  sturdy mask. Moreover, she had been friends with Grant for years. It would be difficult for Sienna to tell her brother that this Scarlette is bad news. 

Meaning, she needed strategy. 

[Side Quest: The reincarnator defied the laws of nature. Destroy her reputation and give her the fate that she deserved.]

'Why?" she couldn't help but asked. But then again, she already knew the answer to her own question. Yes. This woman wanted to live a good life but her ways of doing that is wrong. If she wanted to succeed in this life, she should have worked harder and not separate the leads of this world. 

Just as she expected, the system didn't answer. 

After that night, she immediately went to C University to try and recruit the female lead. She didn't want to make it that obvious so she made a deal with the owner of C University. The deal was really straightforward. She wanted the students and teachers of C University to present their projects to the company and she would sponsor them.

"MIss it seems that you were right. Miss Scarlette did a lot of things secretly." Her secretary said while she was driving her back to the company. "Not only did she sabotage a woman named Amanda Bane's application to A University. She also made sure that no one would hire Miss Bane. Despite this, Miss Bane is already working on her master's degree at the school and is working part time at a pet shop."

"Master's degree? She is younger than Grant, right?" As expected, the female lead was a genius. A gifted individual.

"Yes, she graduated college after a year."

"Is that possible?"

"She submitted a programmed that helped the entirety of the school. She took an advanced exam to graduate and she passed."

"And Scarlette allowed it?"

"No Miss. She tried to stop it but Miss Bane actually aced the examinations. She couldn't do anything about it or it would be too obvious."

Sienna nodded. Right now, she was certain that Scarlette isn't doing anything big. This was because she thought she already succeeded by separating the male lead away from his future wife. 

"Did you check Scarlette's school applications? She shouldn't be that smart."

"She isn't. But she passed the exams of A University."

Again, Sienna nodded. Why did she passed? Was it possible that she knew the answer to the exams? "Investigate."

"Yes Miss."

Sienna closed her eyes. Right now, her priority is to introduce Miss Bane to Grant. "Ah, invite Grant… Let him join the exhibition with C university. Tell him that I wanted him there." She wanted to add that Grant should be alone but she didn't want to make it too obvious. Right now, she wasn't sure if the reincarnator have any other cheat aside from her past life memories. So, she wanted to be cautious. 

As much as she wanted to finish this mission as much as possible to get back to Mo Li's world, she didn't want to underestimate Scarlette and this world.

"Miss… "Her secretary called out after talking to someone over the phone. "Miss Scarlette wanted to schedule an appointment.. She said she had something important to talk to you."
